ICANN's web site prominently advertises:
To register a domain name, please
contact one of the ICANN Accredited
Registrars listed here.
Of course, those registrars for the
most part, only register in 3 of
the 250 Top Level Domain zones in
the legacy root of interest to ICANN.
Questions:
1. Isn't is rather skewed to be promoting
only these three domains?
2. Isn't this an affront to all the country
domain registrars and country oriented domain
communities worldwide?
3. Doesn't this represent a restraint of trade?
Shouldn't ICANN be promoting all Internet names
of any kind and in any root equally - instead
of only those sold by their own "accredited
registrars?"
